Hand Application - The
Saturated
Surface
Dry (
SSD) Method is used to equalize absorption of exterior stucco material.
Machine Application - It is not necessary to wet basecoat prior to application of exterior
finish by machine as the material will have plenty of moisture when mixed.

MIXING:

Color integrated stucco finish - Using a mechanical plaster mixer, start with clean potable water. Mix
for 10-15 minutes to a thin consistency until it is smooth and free of lumps.
SUPERIOR STUCCO Color Pack system - Mix one 90lb. bag with clean potable water to a thin smooth consistency
and all of the color packs to be used for one “batch” and
mix until color is evenly dispersed, (approximately 1 to 2 minutes). Thin
the mixture with more water and then add the remaining bags of
SUPERIOR STUCCO Base Finish to a thicker consistency initially. After
10-15 minutes disengage mixing and let the material take on its’ initial “set” (3-5
minutes), then adjust water to desired consistency and only mix long enough
to achieve desired material. For additional batches of the same color,
thin remaining mixture and repeat steps above.

APPLICATION:

SUPERIOR STUCCO Exterior Color Coat shall be minimally 1/8” thick.
Hand application - Trowel on an even coat, then float or trowel to desired texture. *Ultra-Fine
Float (60/30) sand Float finish or Smooth/Marble finish: Trowel apply
an even coat completely covering the base coat and allow it to set; although
prior to drying out, trowel apply a second tight coat of the same material
over the first and sponge float/trowel the surface to the desired or approved
finish level, using as little water as possible.
Machine application - Spray the first coat covering the dry basecoat completely. After first
coat has set/dry, apply second coat and bring to desired texture. During
hot, dry, windy weather; a light misting with clean potable water of the
dried product is recommended.
28 days is required for proper curing. ** If painting over finish material, please assure the alkaline level
